I'm glad that at some point Flash may become a thing of the past, but I suspect it will be several years before it happens. In particular with respect to higher education. I certainly complained to the university I attended and made zero progress. The solution was to simply require the instructor to come up with an alternate assignment, which worked, but is not addressing the issue. Even the agency I work for uses flash and I have tried to get them looking for alternatives, but people like flash because they really do not have to put out a lot of effort to complete a project. Just my thoughts, but as far as I know Adobe has no plans to make anything accessible for the Mac despite any petition.
